King on Horseback and Suite, Fleeing the Attack of a Unicorn c. 16th century

Editor: Jean Duvet's "King on Horseback and Suite, Fleeing the Attack of a Unicorn" is quite the scene! It feels so chaotic and frenzied. What do you make of all the activity? Curator: It's a fantastic fever dream, isn’t it? Duvet’s world is intensely personal, even mystical. I see a collision of pagan mythology and Christian allegory, all rendered with this wonderfully obsessive detail. It's like he's inviting us into his mind, a space both thrilling and a little unsettling. Does it feel that way to you? Editor: Definitely unsettling! So, there's a deeper meaning beyond just a king and a unicorn brawl? Curator: Oh, certainly. Duvet was a fascinating oddball. He wasn't simply illustrating a story; he was wrestling with grand ideas about good and evil, faith and doubt. It's dense, but that's where the magic lies, I think. Editor: I never would have guessed there was so much going on. Curator: Exactly! And that's the joy of art, isn't it? Always more to discover.
